The Baseball/Softball FitKit, designed using the latest sports medicine research, includes 22 easy-to-follow strengthening exercises for the muscles most used in baseball and softball.  Also included are plyometric exercises to increase speed and power, as well as flexibility exercises to stretch muscles commonly tight from playing baseball or softball. These exercises and stretches provide a simple, safe and effective way to enhance performance and decrease the risk of injury. more info

Shoulders are frequently injured during deceleration (i.e. braking) of the baseball throw. This braking action, called eccentric loading, causes strain on some rotator cuff muscles. Consequently, these muscles must be trained eccentrically in order to withstand the forces placed on them. The Baseball/Softball Fitkit includes a specific exercise to address this issue. It also includes other exercises such as those targeting a rib cage muscle which if weak, can increase the deceleration forces on the shoulder during throwing. back

BASEBALL XERTUBE

Features multi-joint strength-training exercises for the torso and upper body designed to resemble the natural baseball motions of throwing, pitching, batting and fielding. However, if you are interested in conditioning the rotator cuff muscles, we recommend the Baseball/Softball Fitkit as the Xertube doesn't isolate and train the RC muscles individually.

The Baseball Xertube program features multi-joint strength exercises for the torso and upper body that mimic baseball motions, while the Fit-Tube allows for a wide range of upper and lower body exercises that are also important to baseball players. For instance, the force necessary for hitting and throwing in baseball is transferred from the legs and hips to the arms and hands. Lunges performed with the Fit-tube strengthen hip and leg thrust, while the chest and shoulder exercises provide strength for speed and hitting power.

We recommend a 2-pack (2 resistance levels) because:
sm_blue_oval.gif (76 bytes) it's hard to gauge accurately the resistance you will need
sm_blue_oval.gif (76 bytes) you'll need a lighter resistance for pre-game warm ups than for strength training.
sm_blue_oval.gif (76 bytes) your workout will be more efficient (smaller muscle groups require less resistance while large muscle groups require more resistance).
sm_blue_oval.gif (76 bytes) you'll only have to pay shipping charge once rather than twice if you need to order a higher resistance level at a later time.  Also 2-packs are discounted.
